Prana…Breath and Music

Musicians – vocalists and instrumentalists – must pay great attention to their breath on a day-to-day basis. It shapes phrases, their tonal control, endurance and posture. Pranayama plays a dual role in musicians- keeping their energy levels and mind calm. Various forms of Pranayama teach the right technique of breathing and help to make use of the abdominal muscles. These include Ujjayi Pranayama, Brahamari pranayama, Nadishodhana pranayama. 

Join Dr Jayashree S Bhat and Smt Sudha Ragunathan on 21st April, 2022 at 6.30 PM IST where they bring their expertise in the right form of breathing for musicians.
